I thought that was Google's job? And what is it with these funny
sounding names to search engines anyway? First Yahoo, then
Google... when is Shwinklewanklebucket coming into play?

I find it amusing to see the actual civilians get interviewed. The city
the US stormed where people were supposedly happy to be liberated
has been shown as just the opposite when ABC caught up with them.
They said they were promised food and water, and never got any. They
showed wounded soldiers who were seeking help, and were told it was
on its way, but they were still laying there bleeding.

No one said that the US soldiers PAID them to act happy for the camera,
but I have to wonder. I think I'll just keep doing that.

Oh, Jon,
We have no room left for hate
To feel such a way is waste
We play at paste...
Till qualified, for pearl
Then, drop the paste
And deem ourself a fool

The shapes- though- were similar,
And our new hands
Learned Gem-tactics
Practicing Sands.
